A Michigan man was killed and two people injured in a wreck today that shut down the southbound lane of Interstate 75 near Cleveland, authorities said.
Donald Adams, 60, of Inkster, Mich., was pronounced dead at the scene after the 2000 GMC Jimmy he was in rolled over “several times,” said Stacey Boyd, an operator for the Tennessee Highway Patrol, adding that Mr. Adams was in the passenger seat.
The driver, Julia Adams, 62, also of Inkster, traveled off the left side of the road for an unknown reason, overcorrected and lost control of the vehicle, Ms. Boyd said. She said Ms. Adams’ injuries were “significant.”
A 4-year-old juvenile from Jonesboro, Ga., who was in the back of the vehicle in a child seat, also was injured, Ms. Boyd said.
Traffic was rerouted as responders worked to clear the scene.
